We recommend you play this episode backwards to prevent all Hell from breaking loose in your ears.

Phil The Alien is a Canadian film co-starring Eugene Levy as a talking beaver and features Veninjer as a prostitute named Candy. Worth watching if you’re looking for a non-spooky CanCon recommendation.

This divisive film splits your hosts on some aspects, like so many split tongues, but there’s a lot to like about this ode to body modification, revenge, torture, and female empowerment.

Content warning: Unpacking this film’s sexual violence leads to a larger discussion about sexual assault in the genre. This discussion runs from 22:10–35:25 of the program.

Also, the joys of gore, yelling at Siskel & Ebert, MBV’s now-forgotten 3-D remake, and the best end credits songs featured in slasher films. Oh, and we managed to get through the whole podcast without referencing Loveless. Until now. Oops.

Note: for this episode, your horrible and humble hosts watched the uncut version of My Bloody Valentine that was rediscovered and released in 2009, not the R-rated cut that had been the only version available in theatres and home video prior to the 2009 DVD.

“Lobster pot syndrome” must be an extremely local Newfoundland thing because Google turns only up results about Japan and heart disease. According to Wikipedia (source of all sea fauna facts), Adam is referring to Crab Mentality.

Silent Hill: Revelation may not be the greatest film ever made, but its charms (including Malcolm McDowell in a mesh top) are discussed in this very special and not terribly Canadian Scare-itage.

Show Notes.

The podcast where writer-director MJ Bassett is interviewed about her film/TV work (including Revelation) as well as her personal life, is over at The Movie Crypt. Definitely worth a listen.

There was a time when studios released direct-to-video cartoon “midquels” to films that have a newly-released sequel that jump ahead in time and fill the gap. Hence, the animated Chronicles of Riddick.

Despite this, there’s a lot of Canadian stuff to discuss, like mistaken Canadian identity, Bob Clark’s dealings with Canada, Canada’s role in the Vietnam war, and one cast member’s appearance on SCTV.

Note: Deathdream is known under a number of alternate titles, the most common being Dead Of Night (though it’s one of several movies with this title) and The Night Andy Came Home.

Yes, Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy star in Ivan Reitman’s horror-comedy Cannibal Girls. Well, Adam thinks it’s kind of a comedy, but Sarah’s not so sure. Is this our answer to Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre or, barring that, one of TCM’s many sequels/reboots? Only those who are brave enough to listen to the podcast after the warning bell will know for sure.

All the great Canadian stories will be touched upon, such as: psychics that cause exploding heads, haunted masks that turn 2-D movies 3-D, SCTV cast members fighting cannibals, talking teddy bears, menstrual werewolves, evil housecats, slashers, and more.
